Korean Purple Rice

Korean purple rice is made by simply cooking white rice and black rice to create this pretty purple-colored rice. Not just the color, adding black rice gives it a nutty taste. The purple hue color depends on the amount of black glutinous rice you use along with white rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups medium-grain white rice you can use short-grain rice or sticky rice
  • 1 tablespoon black rice
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine white rice and black rice in a pot.
  2. Pour water into the pot until the rice is submerged fully underwater. Rinse rice by swooshing the grains around(water video for the helpful tip), and drain all the water. Repeat this step 2 to 4 times until the water becomes clear.
  3. Next, soak the rice by adding water to the pot until the rice is fully submerged. Soaking the rice is an optional step, but it helps in cooking rice a little faster and the grains turn out great.
  4. Once the rice is soaked, drain it completely.
  5. Into a large sauce pour water. Add soaked rice.
  6. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
  7. When the water begins to boil, stir the rice with a spoon.
  8. Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 23 to 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
  9. After the rice is cooked, turn off the heat. Remove the pan from heat and let it rest undisturbed for 10 minutes.
  10. Fluff rice gently and serve it with your favorite meal.
